What is the best non-narcotic or narcotic pain relief for chronic hip and leg pain?

The pain stems from an herniated disc at L4 and L5. The pain feels like the flu but for about 4 months. I have an appointment today and was wandering what I need to ask for.

How long does a Caudal Epidural Steroid Injection provide pain relief for compressed disks at L4/L5?

3
Just had this treatment, considering spinal fusion if this doesn’t work.

And how long does it take for the pain relief to kick in?
